Losing a Bet, and Winning Love (Part 2)
Boze looked at himself one more time in the mirror. He was nervous as hell. In fact, he didn't think he could be any more nervous. Even the re-appointed Master Jose getting on him for spending almost $10,000 jewels to watch the Battleground PPV was less nerve racking. (In Volume 30 of Fairy Tail, they explain the how much a Jewel is in Yen, Japanese currency. 100 Jewels is like a dollar in yen. But for my own purposes, I'm using them as dollars instead of Yen).
Boze was wearing a suit he got at Men's Warehouse just for his date with Sue. Satisfied with his appearance, he headed out to Sue's apartment to escort her to the restaurant. When Boze was pretty sure he was at the right apartment, he knocked on the door and waited for someone to come. When he opened the door, he was sure his nose was bleeding a little bit. Sue was wearing a long, purple dress with no straps, exposing part of her cleavage for Boze to see. Sue saw him there and flashed a huge smile. "Are you ready to go," Sue asked before she noticed that Boze's nose was bleeding.
"Boze, what happened to you? Why is your nose bleeding," Sue asked as she rushed over to see what happened. Boze knew that Sue would probably cancel the date if she knew that he was staring at her boobs. "Uh, I...tripped on one of the stairs and my face hit the wooden floor," Boze lied as he held out his hand. "But enough about that. Ready to go, Sue?" Boze said as he was trying to change the subject. Sue flashed another huge smile as she nodded and took his hand.
30 minutes later at the restaurant
Boze and Sue enter the restaurant and a waiter shows up to take them to their table. They get settles, and place their orders. Boze and Sue then start talking about random things, such as their excitement that their old guild is back together again and recent missions they went on. Then their food came, and they still talked while they ate their food. Boze and Sue seemed like they were having a good time.
Boze then decided that it seemed like a good time to confess his feelings. "Sue, I know we've been friends for a long time, but I have something to tell you," Boze started off nervously. A rush of excitement came over Sue as she knew exactly what he was going to say. "Yes, Boze?" Sue said, indicating for him to continue. "Well, it's just that...I just wanted you to know that...I...love you," Boze finally managed to stutter out. Sue felt so happy, she felt like she could fly.
"I love you too, Boze," Sue said as she leaned in to kiss Boze, and Boze was doing the same thing. However, Gajeel, who was on a date with Levy in this very restaurant, saw them about to kiss, and came up to them, much to the surprise of Sue, and the surprise and annoyance of Boze. "Hey Boze, so you actually honored the bet and took Sue out. Man, I honestly thought you would've chickened out," Gajeel said as he patted Boze's back hard. Boze was so angry and embarrassed right now that he just wanted to stab Gajeel with the butter knife he had. "A...a...a bet?" Sue said in a quiet and shocked tone of voice. She was visibly shaking and tears were rolling down her face. "You only...took me out...and told me...you...loved me...because of...a stupid bet?" Sue said, getting angrier and more hurt every second.
"No! Look I can explain," Boze said trying to make her feel better. But, Sue stood up and started to walk out the restaurant. "Sue wait, where are you going?" Boze asked, out of worry and concern. "Home," Sue said quietly with tears still pouring out of her eyes. "But...but...but Sue," Boze said as he tried to grab her. Sue turned around and slapped him in the face so hard, his glasses fell off and his nose started to bleed.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" Sue screamed at Boze. "YOU PLAYED WITH MY HEART AND BROKE IT JUST FOR A STUPID BET WITH GAJEEL? YOU JUST STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME FROM NOW ON, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU, HEAR YOU, OR EVEN THINK OF YOU EVER AGAIN!" Sue continued to scream as she ran out of the restaurant, still crying.
Boze just stood there with his head down, fist clenched and tears coming out of his eyes. Gajeel came over to him and patted him on the back again. "She'll get over it. She just needs some time to cool off," Gajeel said in an apathetic tone of voice. Boze then whipped his head around with an angry look on his face. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Boze screamed as he shoved Gajeel away from him, preparing to use his magic on Gajeel. "SOUND BLAST: DISTURBED!" Gajeel was hit with the sound blast and Boze kept it on him until he was rendered unconscious. Boze then ran out of the restaurant to try and make everything right with Sue.
